Because Tokashiki Island is a small remote island with poor medical facilities (one clinic with one doctor and one nurse), priority is given to those who are eligible for the corona vaccine (12 years and older), and more than 70% of those who wish to be vaccinated have already received the second dose of the vaccine.
However, even the vaccine is not perfect, and the spread of infectious diseases can be a serious problem.
We would like to ask for your understanding and cooperation so that everyone can stay with us with peace of mind.
Please note that only guests who have agreed to the above guidelines will be able to make reservations for your stay.
